"This weather just makes us want to stay at the Turks Head, curled up with a good Charles Dickens book 📖 "

It might not be raining but why not stay inside to cool off... 🥵

🤓 Did you know....

Charles Dickens used to be a frequent visitor here! And this is also where he took inspiration for his novel, The Pickwick Papers; which is about Samuel Pickwick & three club friends as they travel the English countryside recording comical misadventures 🌲🚜

For those who have read the novel, you'll know that this is where we've taken inspiration for our most popular beer.... 🔎🔎

It's an IPA at 5.8%....

THE FATBOY 🍻

Which you'll find pouring fresh from Turks Taps tap almost all year round, so why not try some when you're next in? Just remember to bring a book so you can get that real Charles Dickens feeling 😉

See you soon! 🤓
